The latest tuner in Korg’s line of flagship tuners has arrived:
announcing the PitchHawk-G (AW-3G) for guitar/bass and the PitchHawk-U
(AW-3U) for ukulele. Providing the high precision and sensitivity that
you expect from Korg, a new type of clip offers a firmer grip and
greater durability. There’s also an adjustable arm and ball joint that
provides flexibility and compact storage, plus a new type of display
that’s designed for high visibility and operability, a function that
warns against over-winding the first string, and a selection of
versatile tuning modes. The PitchHawk is the new standard for all
clip-type tuners to follow.

During the 38 years since developing the world's first needle-type meter
tuner, Korg continues to pioneer tuner technology, applying our
expertise in new ways to deliver value to the player. This spirit
continued on with the first clip-type tuner, the AW-1 (2004), followed
by its successor the AW-2 (2009), and now the AW-3 “PitchHawk” Due to
its market-leading position in the field of tuners, Korg promises to
continue providing clip-type tuners that are worthy of your trust.

The PitchHawk-G provides dedicated guitar/bass modes, and even allows flat/capo settings.
In addition to the conventional chromatic mode, the PitchHawk-G gives
you a choice of guitar mode or bass mode. In each mode, the string
number is shown beside the note name, letting you tune confidently and
easily. You can also make flat and capotasto settings *, ensuring that
you'll always be able to tune appropriately for your performance
situation.
*Flat settings are available on guitar/bass modes, and capotasto
settings are available in guitar mode.

The PitchHawk-U provides tuning modes that support any ukulele, large or small.
Four tuning modes are provided by the PitchHawk-U: chromatic, C tuning
(*1), D tuning (*2), and baritone (*3). You can also select the number
of strings: 4ST (*4) or 6-8ST (*5). You'll be able to perfectly tune any
ukulele, large or small, and there's even support for Low-G tuning. All
of these options are sure to let you enjoy solo performance over a wide
range of tunings.

*1 Use for conventional Hawaiian tuning on a soprano, concert, or tenor ukulele

*2 Use for American tuning

*3 Use when tuning a baritone ukulele

*4 Supports 4-string ukuleles

*5 Supports Low-G tuning, 6-string, and 8-string ukuleles

The high precision and sensitivity that you expect from Korg
When it comes to clip-type tuners, you expect convenience to be
emphasized more than accuracy. When it comes down to tuning easily and
quickly when time is limited, like when you're on stage, high accuracy
and sensitivity are mandatory. Since creating the WT-10 - the world's
first needle-type meter tuner - in 1975, Korg has accumulated a long
history in tuner development, making it uniquely able to deliver the
high accuracy and sensitivity that’s provided by the PitchHawk. As you
can see from the immediate response of the meter when you play a string,
the wide range of detection from low to high notes, and the piezo
pickup that accurately detects only your instrument from among the band,
it’s apparent that Korg has not made any compromises.

New type of clip for improved gripping power
The clip has been designed for extremely efficient contact and strong
gripping power, with a variable-angle rubber cushion that's now made in
one single piece. It firmly grasps various sizes to accommodate the
headstock of your guitar, bass or ukulele. Even if you move around
actively while performing, there's no danger that vibration or weight
will cause the tuner to shift. Rubber has also been added to the
handgrip on the back of the clip, making it easier to grasp.

Freely adjustable angle with the movable arm and ball joint
The double mechanism of a movable arm and ball joint simultaneously
provide both durability and a free range of angle settings. The movable
arm can be dynamically positioned on either side of the clip, and the
ball joint that connects the display allows its angle to be precisely
adjusted up, down, left, or right. Players have the flexibility to
position the tuner wherever they need, and the confidence that it will
stay in that position.

New display provides high visibility
The new display, which features a new LCD meter with a high-brightness
white backlight, dramatically improves visibility.. The high contrast
allows text and the meter display to be clearly distinguished, and the
wide viewing angle means that it's easy to see from any position,
ensuring smooth tuning in any environment; even on a dimly lit stage.

Durability that will stand of the test of time
Because a tuner is something that you use whenever you perform,
durability is essential. The PitchHawk features a tough design that will
stand up to the inevitable impacts of performing and transportation.
The one-piece clip and the adjustable arm make the unit extremely
durable. The battery compartment cover is easier to use than ever.

Compact design that can be folded flat for easy transportation
The PitchHawk can be folded flat for easy storage in a pocket of your
gig bag. The rubber cushion of the clip is now a slim, straight design
that's not at all bulky. Since the clip, the adjustable arm, and the
back of the display all use the same curvature, the unit can be
compactly folded without any wasted space.

Easy operation, with buttons on the front
Even though it’s an advanced tuner, the PitchHawk features a simple
layout, with four buttons located on the front. This intuitive design
lets you tune quicker than ever. Since it's used most frequently, the
power button has a protrusion that makes it easy to distinguish.

Specially made pick case is included (PitchHawk-G)
A specially made pick holder featuring the Korg logo is included along
with the PitchHawk-G as a bonus. Along with the PitchHawk, you can take
it with you as a companion for your performances.

Over-winding warning for the first string, ideal for the beginner (PitchHawk-G, when using guitar mode)
When in guitar mode, the PitchHawk-G helps prevent string breakage by
showing a "First string over-winding indicator" on the display if it
detects that the thin first string has been tightened excessively. This
is especially useful for beginners who may not be familiar with the
tuning procedure.

Calibration, auto power-off, and memory backup functions
A variety of functions are available to support your tuning endeavors:
the calibration function allows a variety of concert tunings, the auto
power-off function saves the battery if you forget to turn the unit off,
and the memory backup function preserves your settings even when the
power is off.
